Google has published a repository Android Open Source Project source code for Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. This occurred simultaneously with the start of the global sales of the new series devices Nexus: Nexus tablet Nexus smartphone 10 and 4, as well as updating their predecessors, Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 7, to the latest OS version.
Android 4.2 JB 
Yesterday, November 13, 2012, Google Groups was reported by Jean-Baptiste Curie (Jean-Baptiste Quéru), coordinator of the open repository Android from Google, how to publish the code in Android 4.2 AOSP. Post JBQ included and pre-answers to some key questions that could arise from developers interested in the development and Android. Most "free" device, Jean-Baptiste called Nexus 10 new tablet from Samsung, almost all modules are open to him, the only "blob" that is provided with source code, binary files, a video accelerator driver ARM Mali-T604. Funny, but the "closed" to the moment the device also belongs to the new line - Nexus 4, which does not support the AOSP at the moment.
It was also announced that the AOSP support devices such as the Samsung Nexus S and Motorola XOOM, officially they will remain with Android 4.1.2.Android-most open to date mobile operating system, if we consider a significant share in the market. Its core GNU Linux - openly licensed under the GNU GPL. OS itself is mostly distributed under Apache License 2.0. In addition, to create firmware for the device drivers needed for hardware, software licenses that depend on the component manufacturers. Most often, they are distributed in the form of components with closed source. It is with them, and there is a large part of the problems in creating a third-party firmware for existing devices. In fact, many third-party driver developers have already reported on the review of the open yesterday for a code based on it first builds.
